Ashley Graham Talks about Former Boyfriends Body Shaming Her

Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Ashley Graham shared some of her personal experiences with bullying and body shaming during the Urban Arts Partnership 25th anniversary benefit at New York City’s Cipriani Wall Street. “Nothing’s actually surprised me,” Graham said of hearing others’ body shaming stories. “I’ve lived exactly what they’re living. I’ve lived the torment of the names. I’ve lived the torment of boyfriends breaking up with me because they were afraid I was going to be too fat later in life.” “It’s the same cycle, it doesn’t matter what generation we are in,” she added. “Every kid is going to go through the same thing.” I think it’s safe to say Ashley is doing Ok. Their loss, her gain :)-TO
